hipster

when 12 year olds think their cool as shit cos they dress like acacia brinley.

wearing band shirts when you don't listen to anything but taylor swift and nikki webster

dressing like a slut and calling it indie.

looking up "hipster" tumblr nicknames on google

Thinking that being a tumblr girl defines you

thinking that showing off self-harm scars and telling people nobody understands is cool

saying you're depressed, have anxiety, or suicidal thoughts for attention when you're honestly fine and don't realise someone close to you actually is struggling with one of the above

thinking that telling "your story" helps people through their tough times

MAKING THE FUCKING BLACK AND WHITE VIDEOS WITH WRITING ON WHITE CARDS WITH LANA DEL FUCKING REY PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE MASCARA RUNS DOWN YOUR FAKE ASS FACE AS YOU STARE AT THE FUCKING GROUND. WHY? WAS THERE A COOL DUST BUNNY THERE OR SOMETHING?

not realising that being a "hipster" is being anything but the current day definition of "hipster"

only thinking of yourself not others
im hipster cos nobody "understands" me (because i don't even know who the fuck i am cos I'm fake as fuck)

using actual struggles in other peoples life to get attention

hipster

A person who tries to be independent and intelligent by distancing themselves from whatever they think is mainstream. They like to engage in annoying and pretentious behaviors, like writing grandiose definitions about themselves on Urban Dictionary.
See the #1 entry. Typical hipster babble.

"The concepts of androgyny and feminism have influenced hipster culture, where hipster men are often as thin as the women they date. The muscular and athletic all-American male ideal is not seen as attractive by confident and culturally-empowered hipster women who instead view them as symbols of male oppression, sexism, and misogyny."

I'm sorry my muscles offend you. Will it make you feel better if I emaciate myself?

"Although hipsters are technically conformists within their own subculture, in comparison to the much larger mainstream mass, they are pioneers and leaders of the latest cultural trends and ideals. For example, the surge of jeans made to look old and worn (i.e. "distressed"), that have become prevalent at stores such as The Gap, American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister, were originally paraded by hipsters who shopped in thrift stores years before such clothing items were mass produced and sold to the mainstream consumer. The true irony here is that many of the detractors of hipster culture are in fact unknowingly following a path that hipsters have carved out years before them."

Yes, worn and torn jeans are a very important part of American culture and ideals. So glad the hipsters were smart and kind enough to figure this out for the rest of us.

hipster

People of the Millenials generation who believe they are artistic in appearance, have artistic abilities, and think they are photographers because they can add a filter to a photo. They enjoy smoking cigarettes, weed, popping molli, and doing drugs that are just random combinations of letters and numbers. Really they are a culture of people stuck somewhere between gay and straight. Fuck defining this, theyre a bunch of faggots.
Frank: Yo, did you see Rando got a new guitar?
Jim: Its not new, he got it at a thrift shop and it's warped and out of tune.
Frank: Yeah It has character and an iconic sound
Jim: I literally sounds like a baby crying.
Frank: Nah man, it fits his image
Jim: Of what? Looking like a homeless person?
Frank: You just don't get it, Rando's a hipster.
Jim: No, Rando is a cheap fuck
Frank: Ur a conformist man, hand me my fedora, I'm gonna go get high and take pictures of Rando and his new guitar
Jim: Fuck man, I need new friends

hipster

a "group" that is often well-educated, philosophical and/or artsy. Well-read, politically aware, intelligent, creative, independent thinker, often a good analytical thinker, typically enjoys irony. Unorthodox.

Values change, originality, the arts, and new.

Enjoys reading

Energetic.

A person who is unusually aware of and interested in new and unconventional patterns

Shuns stereotypes and people who strive to fit into a stereotype.

Has a strong emphasis on freedom and equality, and so promotes feminism, LGBT rights, and equality for all races.

They often shop at thrift stores.

They are a group that refuses to be categorized, and is out of the mainstream.

It is not true that most hipsters live off their parents.

Has their own lingo, the most commonly known one is "rack", meaning cool.

Most commonly teenagers to 30 something year olds.

Sometimes known for "all natural" foods and products.

Called "the cool of the cool"

Will engage in witty banter.
Example:

(conversation between 4 girls at lunch about hipsters)

Girl 1 (G1): I'm a little bit hipster
Girl 2 (G2): Really?
Girl 3 (G3): I don't think so
G1: I actually am
Girl 4 (G4): I can see it.
G2: I can't
G1: Do you want to explain it?
G4: Sure. She likes books, and we all know she prattles on and on about philosophy and feminism and all that junk.
G3: True
G2: Yeah
G4: And remember that time she spent two entire periods and lunch going on and on about how all school was now nothing but people spouting out information instead of thinking, and how there was no creativity anymore.
All: *laughs*
G4: And people said "gay" was an insult, and she nearly threw her books at them 'cause she's so open-minded and stuff
G1: And I do all my shopping at thrift stores.
G2: Really?
G1: Yeah. Everything but shoes, wool coats, and my hand-me-downs come from there. The prejudice against them is ridiculous.
G4: And we all know Jenna isn't normal.
All: *burst out laughing*
G3: I'm convinced.
G2: Me too.

*Finish and start packing up lunch*

G3: So, Jenna, Where should I go for thrifting?
G1: *laughs* I would try Savers first, but.....

hipster

Tend to be boring, arrogant twats that like to move en-mass into rough inner-city areas such as Hackney and Brixton (in London), where the local shops start to sell gluten-free, lactose-free premium branded organic goods that the rest of the local population can't afford to buy. Once settled they will take over the local pub which will then start to sell trendy beers and eventually this too becomes out-of-bounds for the original regulars. The local 'offie' gets an upgrade and becomes a 'bottle shop, selling expensive poncy wines, and the local greasy spoon gets a makeover and calls itself the 'Well St Kitchen' Businesses fail and change hands quickly "The Art cafe" becomes "The Wash", and then "Josh and The Dane", finally "hirsinger and strauss" in the space of 12 months. Often seen out jogging or riding their bicycles with attached double buggy, complete with red pennant and 'children on board'. Although they exude a sense of superiority, you know that most of them claim benefits and have moved into the newly build housing association flats over the road.
"Thank the lord for our new neighbours! They've pulled the community together - we all have something in common now - our dislike of Hipsters!"

hipster

A insecure label, that a snobby young creative (bohemian) uses to call other young creatives snobby.
"Oh, this coffee shop is too overrun with hipsters. I'm going back to mine to read Catcher in the Rye with an espresso."
